LONDON, Oct. 10.-The arrest of Gen.
Caffarel, Nine. LymOnSin and the others
implicated in the sale of decorations is
the leading and growing sensation here
as well as in Paris. 1t appears that
Gen. Ferron. minister of war, sum-
moned Gen. Caffarel to him on Monday
last and questioned him closely as to the
truth of the information that had been
lodged against him. Gen. Caffarel, it is
understood. attempted to shield himself
behind general denial, but made so
lamentable failure that he was at once
suspended from his position. This ac-
ton of the minister of war gave the
diSgraced general an opportunity to
avail himself of the usual remedy APP
piled to themselves by Frenchmen in
disgrace, suicide. but instead of r.
meeting with Nine. LymonSin which
led to his arrest and further degradation
by being transferred from the military
to the civil authorities for trial. Nine.
LymonSin. CatfarerS principal accom-
piice. though a painfully ugly, lame and
def0rmed women, Is an extremely fine
Hnguist and an extremely clever con-
Yersationalist. She has for a long time
cultivated the acquaintance OF military
officers, and WAS for several years all
especial fayOrite with Gen. Stubander,
q former minister of war, but it does
not appear that she induced that astute
Warrior to OverStep the bounds of pro-
priety or honesty i'll their relations
Gen. Catfarel was appointed to the pest
of chief of staff of the war depart
ment by Gen. Boulanger during that
generals occupancy of the war office.
THE UNIONISTS
have called meeting of the executive
council of that party to be held in Lon
don Oct. Il, ana tremendous efforts will
be made TO accomplish the object of the
gathering-to bring order out of chaos.
The leaders of the party are alive to the
fact that something must be done to
save the CnioniStS from utter ruin as
an organization distinct from the other
political parties and have built great
hopes upon the ability Of the coming
meeting to devise some means of eXtri-
eating them from the anomalous posi-
ton they occupy at present, and a full
attendance is expected. Mr.. Chamber
lain will speak in Belfast tomorrow.
Party feeling in that town is running
very high. and Mr.. Chamberlain'S judg-
meut in carrying out his almost forgotten
engagement to address the Ulster I'M
iOniStS is questionable. The meeting
itself will be perfectly quiet, however,
but nobody can be found to predict that
there will not be plenty of ructions
afterwards. 1t is asserted that Mr.. Bal
four is going to Dublin to take the helm
and endeavor to steer The governments
policy through the rocks and shoals of
national opposition to the crimes act.
If he does not go OF send some one who
can carry out his ideas to the end the
government will be in bad way. Mr.
Balfour will undoubtedly in some way
make strenuous efforts to save the gov
fight against the league. and it is due to
him to say that if he fails no one at
present connected with the government
can succeed.
